The white supremacist president.

  "No one is quite sure what Sebastian Gorka, officially a deputy assistant to President Trump, actually does at the White House. This hasn’t stopped him, however, from being a near constant presence in the media.

Wednesday, Gorka appeared on Breitbart News Daily, the radio show of his former employer. Gorka responded to criticism stemming from a previous media appearance on MSNBC where he said “[t]here’s no such thing as a lone wolf” attack. The concept, according to Gorka, was “invented by the last administration to make Americans stupid.”

The idea of a “lone wolf attack,” Gorka says, is a ruse to point blame away from al Qaeda and ISIS when “[t]here has never been a serious attack or a serious plot that was unconnected from ISIS or al Qaeda.” Critics were quick to point to the example of Timothy McVeigh, who was not connected to ISIS or al Qaeda and killed 168 people when he bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

On Wednesday, Gorka lashed out at “at [New York Times reporter] Maggie Haberman and her acolytes in the fake news media, who immediately have a conniption fit” and brought up McVeigh. He added that “white men” and “white supremacists” are not “the problem.”

It’s this constant, “Oh, it’s the white man. It’s the white supremacists. That’s the problem.” No, it isn’t, Maggie Haberman. Go to Sinjar. Go to the Middle East, and tell me what the real problem is today. Go to Manchester.

Gorka noted that the Oklahoma City bombing was 22 years ago, which is true. But since 9/11, right-wing extremists — almost always white men and frequently white supremacists — have been far more deadly domestically than Muslim extremists. A study found that in the first 13.5 years after 9/11, Muslim extremists were responsible for 50 deaths in the United States. Meanwhile, “right-wing extremists averaged 337 attacks per year in the decade after 9/11, causing a total of 254 fatalities.”'

This White House really does have a white supremacy problem, and it has emboldened that group in ways that we could never have imagined just a few years ago.

Just yesterday trump supporter,  Jeffrey Lord , was fired from CNN because he chose to use the words  Seig Heil in a tweet. Jeffrey didn't deny  that he sent the tweet, but instead, he chose to attack CNN for not protecting his 1st Amendment rights.  (Racists sure like to try and hide behind the 1st Amendment.)   

Anyway, who do you think was one of the first people to call Lord to sympathize with him being fired? If you said Steve Bannon move to the head of the class.

I think it's Mr. Banon who is advising trump not to call the members of that mosque that was torched in Minnesota, recently. Can you imagine if a Christian church was torched in a similar manner? President trump would be on television so much that our televisions would start showing everything in orange.

People might criticize trump for not recognizing how to unify the country, but he clearly doesn't want to do that at this time. He is playing to his base by doing the most racist things possible, and giving them reasons to love him even more.

So far it seems to be working.

Are we ready for round two?

With the latest news out of Iraq, it must feel like a sick version of "Groundhog Day" to most Americans.


(And you thought that we had seen the last of the Shiites and Sunnis.)


The neocons and right-wing chicken hawks in America are itching for a fight. "We should never have left when we did" they cry. "The job was not finished. We should have kept boots on the ground." Over at FOX Views they are trotting out Judith Miller again for crying out loud.


If this wasn't such a serious issue it would all be very funny.


These are the same people who got us into this never ending war in the first place. We toppled a dictator who was holding the country together and who (although he was no doubt evil) was just what the doctor ordered for this unstable and volatile country.


So what now? Do we listen to the people that lied about WMDs to get us there in the first place and cost us an enormous sacrifice in blood and treasure?
Or do we wash our hands of the region and let whatever generational beefs they have with each other work itself out?


Before we decide what to do, remember this: America hasn't recovered economically or emotionally from W's war, and the usual suspects are at it again.


"The senator [McCain] wasted no time snapping back, hammering Stein for his “confusion”:

I think you are confused because you didn’t know what happened with the surge where we basically had the country pacified. We had a stable government in Baghdad, and we had the conflict basically — for all intents and purposes — won. We still got troops in Bosnia, a residual force would have stabilized the country. Most military experts will tell you that. So I’m sorry about your confusion, but the facts on the ground were that al Qaeda had been defeated almost completely and with the residual American force and at that time, a strong Iraq. Now, [Iraqi PM Nouri] al-Maliki is very weak. Maliki got worse after we left. And again, I knew this was going to happen, because we didn’t leave that force behind. And so I’m sorry about your confusion, but anybody who was there will tell you we had the conflict won.

Had it won? The daily bombings and non-stop carnage from that country ever since W's war started until now says something different.


“I guess I shouldn’t myself confused, because it would be used against me,” Stein remarked. He then pressed once more: “What is the end date for our forces in Iraq? Is it open-ended? And if that’s the case, because we need to have a residual force there to prop up the Iraq government indefinitely, is that how you see it?”


In return, McCain cited residual American troops stationed in Germany, Japan, Korea, and Bosnia as having successfully stabilized regions American forces have previously occupied."


Senator there is no stabilizing this region. And if you of all people aren't aware of that, well then we are in some serious trouble.



 






 

Knowing all about Bowe.

Bowe Bergdhal. The name alone is fit for a movie.


Anyway, the sound of that name, like Benghazi, will be sure to bring out right-wing rage in the coming months.


There are lots of questions about Sgt. Bergdhal, so I will do this blog post in a simple Q&A form for you.


Field, the more I hear the story of this guy, the more I think about Nicholas Brody, am I wrong for that?


Nope. There are certainly a lot of parallels so far. Wait....I think I hear a helicopter. Do you hear it?


Field, this guy was a deserter, why should we care what happens to him?


Because it hasn't been actually proven that he was a deserter, and when he was captured by the Taliban he was still an American soldier.


Field, why did we have to let all those high level Taliban members go to free just one guy?


Because one American is worth hundreds of everyone else. Besides, they are Taliban, not Al Qaeda.  


Aren't they going back home to kill more Americans?


Nope. They won't make it home. It's a drone thing.


Field,  what Obama did was illegal, he should have notified congress of what he planned to do.


Well, not exactly. I know that congress passed a bill [that is now a federal statute] saying that the Sect of Defense must notify congress 30 days before the transfer of any prisoners from Gitmo, but.... whoops.


Anyway, O put a little thingy at the end of that bill when he signed it called a "signing statement", which basically says that I will sign the bill but I am still the HNIC. And in this case he claimed that executive authority (it's in the Constitution, look it up) gave him the right to "override the law".


My man W used these very same "signing statements" to torture folks. 


Field won't this give terrorists more incentive to capture American soldiers in the future?


They don't need anymore incentives to capture American soldiers. Just being American is incentive enough.


Field, what's up with Bergdhal's daddy's hair? He looks like a Taliban member his damn self.


Maybe dude is a Deadhead, or, maybe he wanted his son's captors to feel a kinship with him and not send his son's head home to him in a FedEx box.


Daddy Bergdhal did a lot of strange things.


Field, this swapping for our soldiers will make us look weak. Why are we negotiating with terrorist?


Do you think that Israel has a strong army? Well, been there done that. Besides, they aren't terrorists, they are enemy combatants. Isn't that what we were told? "We are at war".


Field, isn't this unprecedented for an American president to negotiate with terrorists enemy combatants?


Actually, no. One Saint Ronnie of Reagan comes to mind.    


Field, I wish I could rejoice in an American coming home after five years, but I just don't trust this Obama fellow, seems to me like he planned the whole thing.


The good news is that if you can say Benghazi it shouldn't be too hard to say, Bergdhal.



























  
 

The Bullet Or The Burger?

City Council here in my fine city convened recently to pass legislation on banning trans fats in the food served in our restaurants. Now this might very well have positive long term effects, and there is no doubt that some of these elected officials might have their hearts in the right place. But I am sorry, banning trans fats was just not at the top of the list of things that we needed to do in Philly right now.

I read this fine article from Daniel Rubin in my local paper, and it was heart breaking to say the least. I mean here we have two generations of black men slaughtered in our streets by other black men as if their lives meant nothing. How sick is that shit? When does it end? It seems I write a post like this at least once a month. I am always moved to write when the Kill in Killadelphia gets to be too much even for me.

Anthony Harris, Peter Styles, Kosai Barouki, and Khalid Trice are all names you are hearing here for the first time, and they are names that you will never hear again. These men were all slaughtered on our mean streets over a three day period, bringing our murder count to 319. But the killings here of young black men by other young black men has become so ordinary, so mundane , that in terms of importance it ranks below the cost of our parking meters going up in Center City. No one notices, and no one cares. Just make sure those Negroes keep shooting each other and no one else. And the real sick thing is that the people who seem more effected by these senseless killings don't care either. Read the story in the link that I gave you again: the young man was shot in broad daylight in front of countless witnesses, yet no one will come forward. This is the culture we live in, where even potential witnesses live by the code of the streets.

I am following a story down in Mississippi, where a young black man allegedly committed suicide after being stopped by a police officer. If it turns out that the police officer's hands were less than clean there will be hell to pay, and rightfully so. But why does it take a white police officer shooting one of our own to send us into rage? Why aren't we outraged at these animals who are terrorising our neighborhoods and causing us to live in fear? Because they look like us? Because they are our own brothers and sons? I don't think so.

These animals are no better than the racist who were lynching us back when the South's most famous crop was "strange fruit" hanging from trees. These animals who kill without conscience and remorse should be priority number one for the people who we elect to look out for our best interest. We are in a war on terror alright, but it ain't against Al Qaeda, it's against our sons.

Yeah it's cool to ban trans fats. But what good will that do if we are killed by a bullet way before the trans fat takes its toll on our hearts? I think I speak for all of us when I say that I would would rather be killed by a burger than a bullet every time.

Ayman, he is not a "house Negro".

Seems like the folks over at al-Qaeda News have been broadcasting messages again. This time they have set their sights on the O man, our President elect.

"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America, Mr Obama was not an "honourable black American" like Malcolm X, he said, but an "abeed al-beit" (house Negro)

Now I don't speak Arabic, so I am going to have to take the word of the folks who do. It seems that they translated Ayman's message and Ayman wasn't too nice to the O man. Apparently al Qaeda's number two is pissed off at the O man, and he used some of the lines from what I consider one of the greatest speeches in A-merry-ca's history to drive home his point. Yep, Ayman compared his O ness to a "house slave"who has chosen to align himself with the "enemies" of Islam. (Dem there is fightin words, his O ness is going to find your asses for sure now. It was cool when Ralph Nader said it, because everyone knows that he is a few tires short of a Chevrolet; but now you guys put that shit out there, and it's on) The al Qaeda folks were even looping brother Malcolm's speech while conducting their broadcast to A-merry-ca. Talk about cojones.

Here is the thing Ayman: you can't just go throwing out the house Negro field Negro references out there. That is my job, and I take that shit seriously. (BTW, thanks for all the web traffic, now that you have every white person in A-merry-ca googling house Negro) I study this thing. You have to know your subjects and what brought them to house Negro or field Negro status. The O man is not a house Negro. In fact, the closest he has ever been was to the patio. Yes he will be living in the (really big) house, but he is not a house slave; he runs that shit. He answers to no one. He is massa. To call him a house Negro would be missing the entire point of just who a house Negro is, and what he represents. And another thing: we field Negroes helped to elect him and put him in the house, so we have no problem with him being there. In fact, we wanted him there. So when you call him a house Negro you are calling all the Negroes who put him there house Negroes as well. That is not cool. If you are trying to get black folks and Muslims in A-merry-ca to sympathize with your cause, this ain't the way to do it, you are only alienating some of the folks here. Have you ever heard the word Obamaholic?

Now, I know things are tough for al Qaeda these days, and they are getting desperate with their efforts to recruit. But attacking A-merry-ca's first black Prez, and a man that is revered throughout the African diaspora is not the way to go about it. Ayman al Zawahiri should stick to attacking George Bush. Now I am wondering if that Cave Negro, Osama, is still alive. If he is he needs to put a check on old Ayman, and fast.

And Ayman, the best advice I can give you is this: you and all the rest of the Cave Negroes need to just chill. Because his O ness is in the house now, and he ain't afraid to use massa's toys.

Mr. Morton, you don't need an infomercial; just hire me.

I AM JOHN MCCAIN AND I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE:

My friends by now I am sure that you all have heard about al Qaeda's latest video tape wishing for an Obama victory. Yes my friends, those very people who seek to destroy us, are now openly cheering against the party of true patriotism and our forefathers. They are hoping that we will lose these upcoming elections for the heart and soul of our great country.


My friends, don't let this happen; on November 4th we can all be proud Americans again, and we can send a message to our Muslim enemies and their sympathizers. I am so proud of my friends in Texas, because they have not believed the lies perpetrated by the Obama worshipers in the main stream media.

But my friends, this is our country, we vote here, not al Qaeda. They tried to kill us, and now they want to "humiliate" us by encouraging you to vote for the cut and run party, led by a man who refuses to show us his birth certificate or his medical records. What is he afraid of?

Next Tuesday let's show al Qaeda what America thinks of their little video taped infomercial for Obama.


My friends, the real infomercial yesterday came from Abu Yaha al-Libi, not Barack Obama. That is what America should have been watching, and listening to; not Barack Hussain Obama. We have heard enough of his ---not proud to be American ---speeches, and his empty promises. It's time take our country back.


I don't know about you folks; but its "morning in America" from where I sit. We are still the greatest country on earth. A country where we are guided by our faith, and not the tyrannical hand of the state or the shallow cult of personality.


I am in the wrong business.

Timing is everything.

Why is it that whenever the frat boy needs money from congress to fund his war there is a new Osama video? Think about it: In his last video Osama's beard was dyed black and it had a perfect trim. Hell, he couldn't have gotten a cut like that from the best barber here in Philly. Doctored photo anyone?

I bet the frat boy has an entire library of Osama tapes just waiting to unload on A-merry-ca.

I can't wait to see the new al Qaeda movie right before they decide to bomb the shit out of Iran. It will be the scariest yet. Watch for the mushroom cloud special effects; that's a Bush administration favorite.

But I gotta give it to the frat boy, it's a great strategy. Scare the shit out of the constituents, who in turn will call their congressmen. Go to said congressmen for funds, and if they refuse to give it to you, their scared shit less constituents will vote them out.

If these clowns only knew how to run a country as well as they know how to hold on to power we would be in pretty good shape. Poor D-im-ocrats; they are out gunned. Even with the frat boy's approval ratings as low as a black conservatives IQ, they (the Dims) are still afraid of him.

Right about now the Harry and Nancy show ain't looking so good. But man that Osama show sure looks like a hit.

So Many Bombs So Little Time!

"Apart from the kingdom of the Lord there is not on this earth any nation that is superior to any other. Should it happen that a strong Government finds it may with impunity destroy a weak people...God and history will remember your judgement" ~ Haile Sellassie- Apppeal to the League Of Nations- June 1936~~

Yeah try telling that to George Bush Emperor Sellassie. Times have changed a little since 1936.
Yes folks, the frat boy and the bad perm lady have decided that they will give those Muslims a little taste of America's fourth of July celebrations just a little early. Oh we bombed the sh** out of those Somalians didn't we? Seems like we were looking for three -yes three- men who bombed our embassy in Tanzania back in 1998. You remember, the razorback was in the White House back then. So in the course of looking for these three men, we throw down some whup ass on a bunch of poor ass Somali villagers. According to the Somali government, who by the way, told the frat boy he could go a bombing in the first place, there was 31 people killed (including a four year old) and we are still not quite sure if we got these Al Qaeda operatives. You gotta love it, the nerve of some people. Do you think we would bomb Canada if we though a bunch of terrorist were hiding out in Toronto? Or do you think we would bomb Germany if we knew that a bunch of terrorist were hiding in Hamburg some damn place? Oh wait, we did suspect some terrorist were hiding out in Germany! No bombs huh? I didn't think so.

But it seems like that whole horn of Africa region is becoming a serious problem doesn't it? ( I told you so) Oh if the bad perm lady running the state department would only read my blog she would have seen these things coming. But noooo; the good Doctor with the shoe jones, is too stuck up the neo cons ass, and too busy looking out for the latest style shoes from Bottega Venetta, to notice what's really going on in the world. So here we go again! Bomb another poor useless Third World ass country, so that we can pound our chest and say that we are doing something about terrorism.

Cowboy George, I am not impressed. You want to impress me; go drop a couple of those bad boys on Iran, or North Korea. Now that would seriously impress me. But it ain't gonna happen, because everyone knows that we are a little preocccupied in a little place called Iraq right about now.

So what about this latest smack down that we initiated? Well, it seems the European Union condemmed it. It seems that U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned it, not to mention the Ethiopians, who are supposed to be our Christian allies in that part of the world. As it stands, the only ones who were for this little bombing excursion is the very fractured and unstable government sitting in Somalia. Seems they have a little Muslim problem themselves, and are locked in a fierce battle with some folks known as the UIC (Union for Islamic Courts) who have been playing musical chairs with them. Seems these UIC folks, is Africas version of the Taliban, and they are winning more hearts and minds in that region on a daily basis.

I sure hope it was worth it? And I sure hope we got those three-yes I said three-SOB's that bombed our embassies and committed other terrorist attacks. Cause if we didn't get em, we have just created yet another mess in that part of the world, and made the war on terror that much harder to fight.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, the U.S. is now switching the focus of the military and closing basis in places like Germany, and Korea. And in the meantime, expanding and opening basis in places like Uganda, Djibuti, and Senegal. Great, just what we need, the militarization by western forces on the African Continent. Happens every time; we couldn't bring you Africans food and drugs to fight AIDS, but we will bring your ass guns, bombs, and three fu%**#g warships instead!

Somalia's President, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, said the U.S. has his support, and the military says that they are going after Al Qaeda's point man in the region. Seems like a no brainer right? Except with the frat boy, it's never that simple. Just remember folks, there is a big speech tonight, and the frat boy has to put that war on terror front and center on our minds. We can't lose our focus now folks, because the moment we do, Al Qaeda will strike. That's why we have to strike them before they strike us. Because under all the bodies of those innocent women and children, there has got to be a terrorist somewhere.

The field is out.
